OPTIONAL RULE - NOT FOR TOURNAMENT PLAY

FORTUNES OF WAR

REPLACES THE OOB RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM:
Once one side achieves a victory objective, the same side will receive a fortunes of war bonus. Fortunes of war bonuses are awarded to all powers aligned with that side, except when stated otherwise (particularly 5 & 6 on the Axis chart). Any fortunes of war bonus gained will not come into effect until the end of the game round in which it was achieved.

At the end of any given turn sequence which a victory objective was gained, the side that claimed the victory token will roll 2 dice, and using the results rolled may choose one breakthrough from their chart. Breakthrough dice rolls may never be re-rolled, therefore, if doubles are rolled, or if both dice rolled result in a breakthrough or breakthroughs already owned, then there is no breakthrough awarded for that token gained.

FORTUNES OF WAR BONUSES:

@young-grasshopper …I mean download

@young-grasshopper not sure if you need to update the latest version… probably

@robson yes

Did you guys see the adjustments to the token list? You are only in turn 1 so you might choose to play with the updated tokens… these VOs are now in stone, making the card deck now 👍

@robson Absolutely

Only 200 dice sets left.

@robson Who’s turn is it?

@feckingwrecked What’s the Score?.. what round are you starting?

@kilroynothere ya sorry about that, but I do have plans to make a much shorter video explanation for everything

@robson sorry, just noticed this now

@bretters so I guess it was determined that an Allied token was impossible before round 9?

@robson thanks, it’s helpful to report what tokens are being taken, and what game round they are being taken.

@robson Japan will need to play a very tight game for sure, but it’s still early and many are telling me that the axis are favoured here… a small adjustment may be needed, but we are a long way from that still. Thanks for the comments, I welcome any feedback from play test games.

@mjdg Cool, I’ve added you to the list of registered players at the beginning of this thread.

@bretters The jury is still out on balance, and it will be many months before a true verdict can be taken from all the games played online (including this one). The Allied Africa, Pacific, Rome, Asia, and Diplomacy tokens are all doable… and don’t forget that a tie game is an Allied win. Most of the feed back we are getting from the play testing is that players misplayed the Allies their first game, and would definitely do things different next time… so don’t beat yourselves up at this point in your play testing.

Good luck, and thanks again for playing.
